ANSWER.
95) a) Fungi form functional association with Plant roots.
* This type of association is called Mycorrhiza.
* This type of association help both fuingus and plant to meet
their own nutritional needs.

Micorrhizal fungi are found in many plant roots. The fungi aids the plant in uptake of water and nutrients, therefore increasing plant growth and overall health. A farmer is testing the effect of mycorrhizal fungi on the fruit production of the orange trees in his orchard. He plants 200 orange tree saplings in his orchard. Group A, 100 of the saplings, are planted normally. Group B, 100 saplings, are planted with mycorrhizal fungi on the roots. Once the trees reach...
Which of the following statements about mycorrhizae is true? a) Although very common in angiosperms, most gymnosperms do not form mycorrhizal associations. b) Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between plant roots and fungi. c) Mycorrhizae typically are commensalisms, not true mutualisms, because only the plant benefits. d) Both a and b e) Both a and c.
What are two types of symbiotic relationships in plant roots? A. Bacteria in root hairs, fungi in root nodules B. Bacteria in root nodules, fungi in mycorrhizae C. Bacteria in mycorrhizae, fungi in root nodules D. Bacteria in root nodules, fungi in root hairs
1. In mycorrhizal mutualisms between plants roots and fungi, A) the plant supplies water to the fungus and the fungus supplies essential amino acids to the plant B) the fungus infects the plant roots, stimulating plant growth through myc factors that act as growth hormones in the plant C) the plant protects the fungus from predation and the fungus supplies carbohydrates to the plant D) the plant supplies carbohydrates to the fungus and the fungus supplies phosphorus and nitrogen to...
14. Cotyledons are: a. embryonic roots b. embryonic stems c. embryonic leaves d. a type of fruit e. a type of seed 15.

The host plant cannot live without the mycorhizae. D. The mycorhizae cannot live...
